About The painting of the western wall of the chapel of St. Anastasia

The artwork titled “The painting of the western wall of the chapel of St. Anastasia” was created by artist Nicholas Roerich in 1913 in Pskov, Russian Federation. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified as a religious painting.

The artwork features a fresco painted on the western wall of the chapel. Dominating the scene is a central door framed by two ethereal figures, possibly saints or angels, rendered in muted tones of gold and white that contrast against the vibrant blue background of the wall. The figures appear elongated and solemn, adding a sense of reverence and sanctity to the composition. Above the door, delicate ornamental patterns and an ethereal representation adorn the ceiling arch, further emphasizing the spiritual atmosphere. The use of soft, flowing lines and the harmonious blend of colors typical of Art Nouveau highlight Roerich’s skill in creating a serene and mystical religious scene.
